It's Been Awhile

Staind- It's Been Awhile

"And it's been awhile

Since I could hold my head up high

And it's been awhile

Since I first saw you

And it's been awhile

Since I could stand

On my own two feet again

And it's been awhile

Since I could call you

And everything I can remember

As fucked up as it all may seem

The consequences that I've rendered

I stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile

Since I can say

That I wasn't addicted

And it's been awhile

Since I can say

I love myself as well

And it's been awhile

Since I've gone and fucked things up

Just like I always do

And it's been awhile

But all that shit seems to disappear

When I'm with you

And everything I can remember

As fucked up as it all may seem

The consequences that I've rendered

I've gone and fucked things up again, again

Why must I feel this way?

Just make this go away

Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile

Since I could look at myself straight

And it's been awhile

Since I said I'm sorry

And it's been awhile

Since I've seen the way

The candles light your face

And it's been awhile

But I can still remember

Just the way you taste

And everything I can remember

As fucked up as it all may seem to be

I know it's me

I cannot blame this on my father

He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile

Since I could hold my head up high

And it's been awhile

Since I said I'm sorry"

In honor of not having posted in forever, I decided to share with you this awesome song, titled It's Been Awhile by Staind. I had to put the swear words back into it. Even though he doesn't really say them in the video. Anyway, this song is great for people who like rock, but aren't really into hard rock. It's a sort of softer song full of regret and emotion. The message of the song is basically that this guy screwed up pretty badly, and he regrets whatever he did. He probably hates himself for it, and therefor he's saying "it's been awhile since I could look at myself straight." It's a great song, and you just have to listen to it to understand.

Hope you liked listening.
